When visiting...
Be sure, when you next visit the Hambleden Valley, that
you spend some time in Fawley. The village, once an ancient settlement
Calles Falle, is situated on a chalky ridge on the Chilterns to the west of
the Valley. Today there is much to see and enjoy here including excellent
walks such as those down to Hambleden or to Stonor Park. Fawley Court,
previously home
of the Marian Fathers, is two miles to the south of the village beside the
Thames.
Stonor Park is open to the
public throughout the summer months.
The parish church of St Mary's lies at the centre of
the village. It has stood on its present site for over eight hundred years.
